Possibilities of Intercity Intermodal Distribution Development on Short Distance

Intermodal transport is often considered as alternative approach regarding to congestion caused by road freight transport while its implementation in practice in most cases refers to the long distances (over 300 km). Until recently research did not pay much attention to the connection between intermodal (road-rail) transport and urban distribution, relying on a fact that intermodal transport is not achievable at distances less than 300 km. This paper will explore the possibility to develop the concept of intercity intermodal distribution at short distance as well as preconditions for the development of this concept. Intention is to show that the cooperation between intermodal transport and urban distribution is possible. By using case studies, process of intercity intermodal distribution will be described, which will lead to a conclusion regarding the future development of the concept of intercity intermodal distribution.
